Baja California Sur Civil Protection Issues Heat and Storm Elida Advisory

The municipal Civil Protection and Risk Management office in Baja California Sur is continuously monitoring weather conditions as a low‑pressure system in the Pacific develops into tropical storm “Elida.” Officials said the storm currently poses no risk to the state, but temperatures are expected to remain between 35 °C and 40 °C, with isolated rain chances and wind gusts up to 60 km/h in Los Cabos. Residents were urged to stay hydrated, avoid prolonged sun exposure between 11:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., wear light, loose clothing, and pay special attention to children, the elderly and people with chronic illnesses.

In Tijuana, the municipal Protection Civil director warned that the day is shaping up as the hottest of the week. Similar precautions were advised: limit outdoor activity during peak radiation hours, seek shade or green spaces, keep pets out of vehicles, and watch for symptoms of heat‑related illness such as dizziness, headache, vomiting or disorientation. The messages emphasize reliance on official channels for updates and the importance of community preparedness.
